Lurssen is one of the most storied yacht builders in the world, established in Bremen in 1875 and today operating from Lemwerder in northern Germany. The yard produces full-custom steel and aluminium motor yachts from 60 metres to beyond 140 metres under Lloyd Register classification, delivering vessels that combine naval engineering integrity with interior spaces of exceptional volume and quality. Harbour Island provides an unusually intimate Bahamas setting for Lurssen charters, its colonial-era pink-sand beach destination contrasting with the scale of the vessels that anchor in the protected western harbour. Valentines Marina and the main anchorage handle visiting yachts, while North Eleuthera airport a short water taxi away provides easy guest access from the United States. The four Lurssen yachts available in this region span the 65-metre to 90-metre range, each carrying 15 or more crew. Weekly charter rates range from approximately 500,000 to over 1,500,000 euros, with the advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covering fuel for the large displacement engines, gourmet provisioning, marina dues and beverages. Peak season runs December through April. The experience of Dunmore Town, Pink Sands Beach and Royal Island anchorage is amplified on a Lurssen by the exceptional tender fleet, crew service levels and onboard amenities that accompany vessels of this scale.
